It probably wasn't.  I solved that by wrapping it all in a bash script
that goes:

#!/usr/bin/bash
eval 'ssh-agent -c'
perl /home/scripts/erBackup.pl


I think that should work, but as far as I can tell, its not even doing the
tarring.  Totally stumped, and there's no errors, nothing that looks
wrong.
